Her blog, I Want to Get Married!, quickly became a hit with both men and women in the Arab world. With a keen sense of humor and biting social commentary, Abdel Aal recounts in painful detail her adventures with failed proposals and unacceptable suitors. There's Mr. Precious, who storms out during their first meeting when he feels his favorite athlete has been slighted, and another suitor who robs her in broad daylight, to name just a few of the characters she runs across in her pursuit of wedded bliss.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI Want to Get Married!\u003c\/i\u003e has since become a best-selling book in Egypt and the inspiration for a television series.
